About the work and artist: August Sander was a German portrait and documentary photographer revered as "the most important German portrait photographer of the early twentieth century." This collection of over 700 stunning portraits is considered his masterwork.
In 1911, Sander began with the first series of portraits for his work, People of the 20th Century. In 1927, Sander and writer Ludwig Mathar travelled through Sardinia for three months, where he took around 500 photographs. In 1962, 80 photographs from the People of the 20th Century project were published in book format, under the name Deutschenspiegel. Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts (German Mirror. People of the 20th Century). less
